How Do I COPY a file with special characters in the filename in a .BAT file?

Question

I am generating a .BAT file containing nothing but COPY commands to move some files around.

Here is an example working command:

COPY "C:\TEST.PDF" "D:\TEST.PDF"

Here is an example that isn't working:

COPY "C:\édf.pdf" "D:\édf.pdf"

Can I copy this file using a windows batch file? Or do I have to rewrite my script in a language like PERL?

Answer 1

The examples I gave do work. I noticed that inside my .BAT file those special characters were getting lost because of the .BAT file's encoding.
